Sisters Love Brothers.

A girl is generally very unselfsh TO
her brother. You don't often hear of
young fellow giving up bis pocket mon
ey to his sister He usually growls if
she want him to take her to the theatre.
But if boys in little trouble his sis
ter will stand by him like brick. She'll
not only give up her pocket money, but
she'll go and wheedle some moro out of
her father TO give IL to him. She'll fb,
she'll prevaricatc. she'll beg. He'll
hang about outside until she gets it and
comes and gives il TO him. Then he
will grab bis hat and bolt out Of the
house. And she does not mind il he
does not thank her particularly. He's
her brother, and---well--a woman al
way looks at kindness done for man
as its own reward. A boy can gener-
ally wheedle money out Of his mother.
But if she can't give it TO him out OF the
household cash, or her own pocket, she
has tendency to spoil all by telling his
father what she wants the money for
A girl cannot succeed with her mother
very often, but she does not often fail
with the old man. And she's always
more ingenious in inventing necessities
for it. A girl, with oil the more limit
ed acknowledged needs of womankind
for money, will find at any time more
reasonable excuse for requiring il than
man with inhumerable natural wants.
God bless the sisters anyway. Any one
Of them is worth whole family Of
brothers.

THE CHRISTMAS BELLS.

/ go
Once more across the leaaess land
We hear the Clash Of Christmas chimes
The young and old stand hand in hand,
And Dream the past in present times,
There Is a story in the Bells
That comes in whispers through the air
OF loveto some their music tells,
They Sigh to Others OF despair,
Last year we flung the window wide;
Twas such a Christmas Eve as this;
We babe the bells to greet the bride
And consecrate the bridegroom's kiss.
A little year too brief, alias II 75. di
Tosaye the ship or still the wave; slih
To.morrow morningiwe shall pass ill III
The flowers ON her husbands grave IS
A ye:g agol you cant forget " "
fs'lA sissskness Of lesi Christlras altAK
A little robin cold and wet
Flew dazod and huagry to the light.
Our belly wreaths unwithered still,
The glad new year had scarcely come,
We heard shout across the hill
Our long lost brother had come home!
"Good Will and Peace!' in leafy scroll
We saw above the chancel dim;
We heard the mighty organ roll Sea
Its music for the Christmas hymn.
The sermon was Of love, and all
Uprose, just blest--a Christian fold;
Still fathers kisses never fall
On mothers forehead as of old IL
Ring on, We Christmas bells, of peace;
Ring on of love that never dies;
The love that lasts though life must cease,
The life of deathless sympathies.
Ring out the only true relief
Across the meadows and the plain,
The woods once more will smile in loaf;
The summer flowers come again.
This is the music of the chimes
That brushes hate and kills despair;
The gospel of the good old times
Filling with love the very air;
Though hope lies buried, it will rise;
Though sorrow triumphs, twill depart.
Love will relight grief wasted eyes
And fill with joy the empty heart.
Clement Scott.

THE BANQUET TONIGHT.

The South Kansas Medical Society will be
given a banquet to night together with their
wives and other invited guests. Dr. Fab
rique. who is a royal manager of such affairs,
will accept our thanks for an invitation
The banquet will be served by Gandolfo.
The hour fixed is 10 o'clock, which will be
found to be more in the interest of good
time than good sleep. But these doctors
always have an eye to business. They know
what medicines will do neither good nor
harm as we'll as the kind o. supper to get
their money back. They mend us OF end us,
secundem artem. We sheer at them in
health and send for them when we are curled
up with belly ache
''You tell your doctor that you're ILL.,
And what does he do but make bill
OF which you need but read one letter:
The worse the scrawl, the dose the better
For if YOU knew but what you take,
Though you recover he must break
Throw physic to the dogs, I'll none of it, :"
but when it comes to a doctors banquet it's
not 90 bad to take and we will think about it

be made to deepen its channel, as it was sand
for over hundred miles north. It will
wash away the bridges, Nothing was done
with the matter.

IN MEMORIAL,
Rudely rent that loving circle.
Mutely speaks that 'sVacant Chat,

Rudely rent that loving circle,
Mutely speaks that Vacant Chair
Hearts are wrung in silent anguish,
Hope lies crushed and wasted there
In the full bloom of womanhood another
young mother has been by the ruthless hand
hand of death torn from home and loving
husband and children, our of the latter but a
frail bud who can never know mothers car
ress or a mothers tender love and care. Mrs
Adam Haas was buried on Sunday, leaving
husband and little son but two and half
years old to mourn her loss. She left babe
but three weeks old. Mrs. H. was the daugh-
ter of Henry Kaufman. She came to this
valley in 1876 with her father, living for sew
eral years in Kechie.t She had been devoted
member Of the Methodist church for twelve
years. This world seems so full of such be-
reavement that sometimes we feel that this
life is but tragedy with but the one ending
death
But loving Heavenly Father,
He who notes the "Sparrow's fall,n
Giveth grace for every trial,
Guides us safely through them all.
"Whom He loveth them He chasteneth,"
If we learn the lesson well
1t will point US to the portals
Where our loved and lost ones dwell

CHURCH DoINGs on THE WEST SIDE.

A fair congregation at all the churches
Sunday.
One year ago the first sermon was preach
ed in the Presbyterian chuach. The Rev.
Brown touchingly spoke of the little hand
full of followers and their appeal to the
Home Mission for aid and how God had
wonderfully led them, and now he desires a
collection TO be taken in behalf of other So
cieties that are today where our society was
one year ago. And as half dollars and dol
lars dropped into the contribution box we
could not but realize that the congregation
truly felt it moro blessed to give than TO
receive.
Next Sunday night the congregation will
celebrate their first anniversary.
Rev. Brown leaves today for Omaha as a

GRABBED BY THE WAVES.
The Remains OF Child Found In Sacl
Launched in the Mill-Race.

Yesterday number of juveniles were
bathing in the mill-race near McAfee's addi-
ton, when one of them spied sack lying in
the edge of the river to which was tied a rope
fastened to stake on the bank. Its singular
appearance caused an investigation. The
sack was pulled upon the bank and opened.
The boys were very much surprised to find in
it the remains Of child, which evidently had
been placed there soon after its birth.
They were so frightened at their dis
covery that they did not prolopg
the investigation, but tied the sack and
launched it again in the mill race.
The men working in the back yard near
by were notified and one fastened to bear the
news to the sheriff. The coroner, ]. W.
Wingard was also notified and had intended
to investigate the matter last night but the
prospect for a storm caused him to defer
action until this morning.

The lecturer handled his theme In . philo-

way that the sams elements in the character
Of man which ruled the emotions were the
same in nations; and TO both insured ulti-
